.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
The \fBbtop()\fR function returns the number of memory pages that are contained
in the specified number of bytes, with downward rounding in the case that the
byte count is not a page multiple. For example, if the page size is \fB2048\fR,
then \fBbtop(4096)\fR returns \fB2\fR, and \fBbtop(4097)\fR returns \fB2\fR as
well. \fBbtop(0)\fR returns \fB0\fR.
.SH RETURN VALUES
.sp
.LP
The return value is always the number of pages. There are no invalid input
values, and therefore no error return values.
.SH CONTEXT
.sp
.LP
The \fBbtop()\fR function can be called from user, interrupt, or kernel
context.
